• Wear two-piece suit; vests, however, add authority in such professions as banking and law
• Don't carry wallet in the back pocket of suit - it ruins the lines
• Don't buy cheap ties - they will downgrade even $500 suit
• Green and brown detract from business look
• Don't wear short socks and expose hairy legs
• Don't wear wrinkled shirts; have them professionally laundered and starched
• Use pant cuffs only on less formal suits, like those of tweed or with patterns
• Don't wear heavy wing-tipped shoe - it makes your feet look big, and your ankles skinny
• Leave off your pinkie ring; it gives the image of con man or gambler
